Proceeding contribution from Gerald Kaufman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

I see that the right hon. Gentleman voted against a referendum as well. I have the full Division list if anybody wants the names. Of those who obeyed the Tory Whip by voting against a referendum on the Maastricht treaty, 70 are still Tory MPs today. I have a feeling that, with the exception of the right hon. and learned Member for Rushcliffe and a few of his principled colleagues, every one of them will vote for a referendum this evening.
